Defining the folder settings for data recording
A very useful function of the TV80 system is it ability to record and replay gear monitoring sensor data. In File Setup you can define the destination folders for every file you can save with the TV80.
Context
The Record function allows you to record the data submitted by the gear monitoring sensors. The data are saved on the hard disk, or on an external data storage device, according to the preferences you have defined. Information about the data and time of the recording is automatically added to the file name.
Tip
The data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your computer is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.
Set up the folder parameters before you start the recording. If you wish to save your recorded data on an external hard disk, make sure that it is connected to the computer.
The Record function is located on the Operation menu.
